Might raise a few eyebrows but its going to be a GT Forte. Was down looking at Darren's kit over the weekend and lucky enough to be able to see a Tornado and a GT Forte side by side and do a direct comparison. Darren's work is good, and there are some little extras in the chassis that make...

Ok, about to take the plunge :stunned: It will be on order by the weekend ! Now comes the waiting game. Will start a build thread when it arrives. Andrew

Just a little over my budget by a factor of 10.:cry: Was lucky enough to be in South Africa a few months ago and sat in a CAV GT40 at Killarney race track near Capetown, met Jean Fourie who was very helpfull. But my only concern was getting it through it test here in the UK, when it was...

Wow! Gelscoe, that puts a whole new perspective on things ! Don't see any prices on there site but just by looking through their pages i can imagine that are many thousands more than i have to spend, but they look stunning. Yup looks like they do the building, that for me a big part of the...

Been here a while, but mainly just been reading and learning. Dreaming of owning a GT40 for many years, but the stars have finally drifted in to alignment now and it looks like i can now make it happen. Currently torn between two manufacturers, seen one and quite impressed, planning to have a...

David, try this, it is a free download for 15 day, very good, and lets you add in desks, computers, faxes and all that other office stuff. looks a bit difficult to get in to but stick with it for and hour and you will have a full walk through office. I did my dream house with it...... And...

Yes the eyesight needs to be very good as they become a speck in the distance very quiclky......reactions need to be good too.....and insurance, its not possible to ensure the plane, just get public liabillity insurance. Kinda worrying when you have a 10K investment hanging on an invisible...

Yup, Helis, fixed wing, scale turbine, 7ft long 200mph F16 jet..... Heli's are the hardest, but you are doing it right with the sim frist. The T-rex is a good heli, if a little fragile...! Remember, small movements only, or you start to over compensate and that is when you loose...

Thanks Jean I have spoken to John who was very helpful, and i am trying to plan to get down and see him in the next week or two, work commitments allowing, so i can have a good crawl over a car and ask "lots" of questions. Thanks for your help. Andrew

Thanks to everyone who took GT "virgin" under their wing and offered the above advice. Having looked at all of the suggestions, one thing is clear, they are all good quality and all have positives to commend then. The ultimate GT40 is probably a mixture of the best points of all the...

Thanks john, will wait for your e-mail, then maybe we can talk a little. i will be comming down your way some time soon so thanks for that ! Andrew

Hi Bill, in short, i want to do as much of the work as i possibly can. I am a time served mechanic, all be a it a few years ago. but really want to build this thing from the ground up.....it's all part of the process for me. Will look at GTD and MDA also, thanks for the info. Andrew

Thanks for that John, still trying to decide which to go for, so the more comments the better. Are you still intouch with the guy with the Gulf CAV GT40, i would really like to talk to someone who has one......PM me and we can exchange numbers if he is willing to talk... Waiting on John...

Thanks Martin, will have a long look through the site and the pictures. Thanks for the offer of a chat, may take you up on that. Cheers Andrew

Do you have the web site and contact details. Cheers Andrew

Oh Dear ! I knew that would not be a simple answer, I have had a quick look at the Tornado site and as with others, they look good......the one thing they do have in their favor is that that are UK based and quite central. One question that has come up is the difference between the Tornado...

Hi guys ! I am new to this forum, but have been studying it for a while, so firstly many thanks for giving me so much reading material. I have always wanted a replica or kit car, but when I first got bitten by the bug some 25 years ago, the quality of the kits appeared to be quite poor, and...
